Moving with Teen

Hi, I'm considering a move to the beautiful Bermuda. I'm in the very early negotiation stages and would like some financial advice -- there is a lot of conflicting information on the web - it seems prices have come down compared to a couple of years ago -- would that be an accurate evaluation? I'm coming from Vancouver (one of the most expensive cities in the world); rent in Vancouver is astronomical. I checked out some of the Bermuda grocery store weekly fliers and the prices seem similar if not LESS than what I currently pay. Sure some things are more expensive -- it's all about what you buy (eat like a local).

I have a teenage daughter who will join me. I'm not sure if putting her in a private school is worth the price -- anyone with thoughts on the matter? Most of the information I'm finding is for young kids -- are there expats with teens??

I am not a hundred percent sure but what I have been told, if you move to bermuda with children, you have to pay for their schooling, either private or in the public sector..

Sorry that wasn't the intention! Yes, will be paying for her education - I'm not sure which option: the private school or public school system -- if other expats have tried the public system I would appreciate their feedback -- there are very few blogs about taking kids and I haven't found any regarding teens

Hi, most expats will be sending their children to privet schools even though governments schools are free.
